Was this for real?

This figure..er..package was given to me a few years back by a friend. I was very surprised, because up until then I didn't think it possible that a Universal Monster product made by Sideshow Toy could have escaped my radar. I was very obsessed with the stuff. All my buddy knew was someone had sent it to him, and he couldn't even remember who.

Supposedly this item is very rare. It really is a sealed package with accessories minus the Invisible Man figure. I don't know the item's origin, only that they are pretty scarce. I have researched it a bit, but it seems even Sideshow employees are sketchy on the information (Way to keep decent records of your products there guys!), but have confirmed it is authentic.

I saw someone on eBay trying to sell one for $200.00. He claimed in the item title that only five were made, and they were made for employees, but then in the description it said only three were made. I think both numbers are bullshit, and there were most likely more produced. It is very possible they were made for employees, and probably people Sideshow conducted business with at the time. If it had been a retailer exclusive, I, and many others, would know about it.

It does not surprise me that the guy's on eBay didn't sell for $200.00, even IF there were only five made. Though it is a really fun novelty, when it comes down to it, there is no figure (or IS there? muahahaha) and I don't see even the biggest Invisible Man fan paying that much for an empty (or IS it? muahahaha) package.

Sideshow are not the first to do something like this. They were obviously inspired by Invisible Jim, a figure I really wish I had. But then, maybe I do!

If anyone has any information on this Invisible Man, please let me know.
